"If this doesn't proceed then it will leave the industry in a terrible mess."

The future of the deal's enacting legislation has been in doubt since the Independent Member for Huon, Paul Harriss, moved a motion last week to kill it off.

Premier's push

The Premier, Lara Giddings, wants the legislation passed before she leaves Tasmania on Sunday on an Asian trade mission, which will include meetings with buyers of Tasmanian forest products.

"It is my hope that we will see the forestry issues (resolved) this week, the industry needs certainty, we all want to be able to move on," said Ms Giddings.

"As part of my trade mission I will be talking about the forestry issues in the state, particularly in Japan, where if I can go with that strong message to the markets, particularly in Japan, that will help the forest industry secure its future."

The support package includes $10 million for sawmillers, $20 million for forest contractors and $25 million for new reserves.

The $100 million dollars in federal funding for economic diversification projects will be delivered with or without the forest peace deal.
